Hello,

In the AS2 plans, there are different sizes of bushings for a use with the same bolt :
- 3/8 0.058 -> inside diameter = 0.259
- 3/8 0.065 -> inside diameter = 0.245

but a bolt AN4 has a minimum diameter of 0.246. Therefore the 0.065 bushing is too tight and has to be drilled/reamed with 1/4.

The same apply for
- 1/2 0.058, inside 0.384
- 1/2 0.065, inside 0.370
and AN6 that is min 0.371.

Is it done on purpose in order to have a reamed hole that is tighter than the 0.058 ? (with a 3/8 reamer, 0.375 it's closer to 0.371 than 0.384)
Or is it just a mistake on the plans ?
